5 Reasons Why You're not close to God

First off let me tell you this is not a blog writing to change your perspective on God.
Also this is not a blog to tell how to get closer to God, thats done by you and your journey through life. I am here though to write about the reasons that are keeping you from truly connecting to God.
So lets begin.

#1 You have not found yourself

You may think this is simple, and that you just need to learn more or have more experiences. But actually thats not the case at all, when it comes to finding yourself it take diligent work to understand your mentality and why you do certain things versus others. This means you may need someone on this journey with you to point out these things that you don't see in yourself, but that others do.

#2 You often Rely on others to tell you who you are

This one is a little tricky because you may think this is talking about finding yourself still and yes it does have to do with it. But really i have to say that it goes deeper than that, it goes to your past. Another words this is talking about your parents and how you grew up, giving yourself an identity that doesn't necessarily match who you really are.

#3 Your still following the crowed

This has to do with how society has brought us to think a certain way. Often we think that following the crowed such as church is what will give us salvation. Well although the western tradition such in America's and in Europe you find many people still engaging in churches that there friends or parents or even work colleagues think will bring all people to salvation, they forget that many paths can bring you to God and doesn't have to be theirs. Meaning explore and look for what makes your heart become whole again.

#4 You FEAR!

This one is the worst that i have seen through out all of the religions i've encountered. People fear death and I'm not saying not to, and of course its a very normal thing to want to live for ever, but God is "just" and if that is so than you need no worry, be good for the sake of being good, and you will encounter "LOVE" and that love will make you fear no more.

#5 Need to Let Go!

This last one is vague for a reason, the "letting go" of anything, this can include your past demons,  as well as your present difficulties. This is to say "just be" equalling to "become you" This is hard to explain, but understanding that you in the physical sense is more than what you see in the mirror, "You" are a body or energy which needs God to continuously march forward.  Understanding that will help you to receive the enlightenment and this will create the real deep down "You" that no one but yourself can retrieve.
